Process for controlling foam in food processing and production

Alkaline dishwashing machine detergent compositions containing an active chlorine composition and a foam inhibiting amount of a ketone containing at least 25 carbon atoms. A process for their preparation wherein the ketone is introduced into the composition as a dispersion in a liquid.

Detergent compositions containing active chlorine and ketone foam

An evaporation inhibitor, having particular use with spray mixtures of agricultural chemicals applied by the low-volume method, in the form of a paraffin-containing aqueous dispersion or a self-emulsifying solution in an organic solvent, and having the following composition:

Evaporation inhibitors

Substantially water-insoluble silicic acid esters corresponding to the following general formula ##STR1## are used to foam inhibitors in foaming systems. In the above formula, X and Y represent the group --OR or a methyl group, R represents a polypropylene glycol ether group and, optionally, a polyethylene glycol ether group which may be substituted by alkoxyl, amino-alkyl, acyl, acylamino, dialkoxyl and oxyaminoalkyl groups containing from 4 to 24 carbon atoms. The total number of glycol ether groups amounts to between 1 and 100, the number of polypropylene glycol ether groups preferably being at least equal to or larger than the number of ethylene glycol ether groups.

Defoaming agents and process of defoaming

Aqueous low-foam cleaning compositions containing at least one surfactant which is a water-soluble or water-emulsifiable polyalkylene glycol ether of a long-chain alcohol, and at least one diethanolamine derivative of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl radicals containing 8 to 14 carbon atoms for R.sub.1 and 9 to 17 carbon atoms for R.sub.2, and

Alkyl and alkenyl diethanolamine compounds as solubilizers for low-foam

A foam inhibitor mixture of compounds corresponding to the following formulae: ##STR1## in which R represents a glycerol residue, trimethylol ethane residue, trimethylol propane residue or a polyglycerol residue having a degree of polymerization x of from 2 to 6 and the indices y=(x-z+2), z=(x-y+2), a=1 to 15, b=50 to 250, c=1 to 15, d=50 to 250 and e=1 to 15, with the proviso that the sums (a+c+e)=2 to 20, (b+d)=50 to 250 and (c+e)=1 to 15 and y has a value of at least 1; R.sup.1 represents a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl or alkenyl radical containing from 8 to 20 C-atoms or an aromatic alkyl radical containing from 12 to 20 C-atoms, R.sup.2 represents an alkyl radical containing from 3 to 8 C-atoms and n is a number of from 4 to 30. The mixture preferably contains from 99 to 70% by weight of the block polymer (I) and from 1 to 30% by weight of the emulsifier (II).

Foam inhibitor mixture

Low-foam or foam-depressing surfactant mixtures based on water-soluble and/or water-emulsifiable polyalkylene glycol ethers of relatively long-chain alcohols containing components I, II and, if desired, III in the quantities indicated:

Low foam surfactant mixtures

Block polymers usable as defoamers have the following formula ##STR1## in which R represents a glycerol or polyglycerol function having a degree of polymerization x of from 1 to 6 and the indices y is equal to (x-z+2), z is equal to (x-y+2), a is equal to 1 to 15, b is equal to 50 to 200 c is equal to 1 to 15, d is equal to 20 to 150 and e is equal to 1 to 15, with the proviso that the sums (a+c+e) is equal to 2 to 20, (b+d) is equal to 50 to 250 and (c+e) is equal to 1 to 15, and y has a value of at least 1. The block polymers are prepared by reaction of glycerol or polyglycerol having a degree of polymerization x with ethylene oxide, then with propylene oxide and, finally, again with ethylene oxide, preferably in the presence of alkaline etherification catalysts.

Alkylene oxide block polymers usable as defoamers

The formation of troublesome microfoams in aqueous lacquer and synthetic resin dispersions, particularly in gloss lacquers, is prevented by the addition of from 0.01 to 1.5% by weight of a silicone-free foam inhibitor mixture. These foam inhibitor mixtures contain (a) from 70 to 98% by weight of a liquid, branched C.sub.16 -C.sub.30 alcohol, (b) from 0.5 to 20% by weight of hard paraffin, and (c) from 0.05 to 5% by weight of hydrophobized finely divided silica, and, optionally, small quantities of other ingredients.

Foam inhibitors for aqueous dispersions and solutions of synthetic resins

The formation of troublesome microfoams in aqueous lacquer and synthetic resin dispersions, particularly in gloss lacquers, is prevented by the addition of from about 0.01 to about 1.5% by weight of a silicone-free foam inhibitor mixture. This mixture consists of (a) from about 70 to about 98% by weight of a mineral oil liquid at room temperature or a mixture of such mineral oil with a C.sub.16 -C.sub.30 branched alcohol of the following formula

Foam inhibitors for aqueous synthetic resin compositions

Troublesome foaming in the fermentation of yeast is suppressed by the addition of polyglycol ethers which are derived from saturated and monounsaturated C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 fatty alcohols and which contain on an average of from 1 to 4 ethylene and/or propylene glycol ether groups. Preferred defoamers contain oleyl and cetyl alcohol residues in a ratio of from 3:1 to 1:1, and on average 2 ethylene glycol ether groups. The defoamers do not inhibit yeast growth or lead to premature softening and liquefaction of the compressed yeast.
